Little Vampire Goes to School sounds like it should be a Halloween book for 5-year-olds, but with its comic-book illustrations, occasional toilet humor, and rambling story that touches on everything from the legend of the Flying Dutchman to whether an orphaned child ought to believe in God, it’s probably more appropriate for 8- to 10-year-olds. Joann Sfar’s illustrations are an interesting mix of creepy and cartoony comic-book styles, and the motley assortment of monsters who live in Little Vampire’s castle provide plenty of background chatter and jokes. This book is just right for a kid who likes monsters but doesn’t actually want to be scared. (Ages 6 to 10) --Jennifer Lindsay
